FOREST FIRES IN DISTRICT HEAVIEST Changes of Diet, Sinus Trouble, Kidney| Last year, the clean-up work was re- Fifty Thousand Dollar Damage Is Estimated By District Forester Forest fires which blazed a path of destruction through the wooded areas of the Gallitzin district in the most disartrous spring season since 1926 destroyed more than 6,500 acres of timber, according to a report issued Tuesday by District Forester T. IL Shirey. Damage estimated at close to the $50,000 mark and expenditure of $13,000 for fire-fighting resulted from the 236 fires listed in the four counties comprising the district from Jan. 1 to May 31. Transients and incendiarism are cited in the report as the causes which took the heaviest fire tolls during the three.month period. Despite the ela- borate precautions taken by the for- estery forces during th extremely dry season, carelesness on the part of the hundreds of transients, especially over weekends, and what is believed to have been a series of deliberate at- tempts at destruction forced the fire loses to a level exceeded only once in the spring season of the last six years. Brush burning and railroads also figured as the causes of fires. Heaviest Loss in Cambria The district forester's report shows that the 236 fires murned through a total of 6,571.01 acres, with an aver- age of 27.84 acres destroyed in each fire. The estimated damage is placed at $46,708 and the cost of fighting fires at $13,050.93. Cambria county suffered the heav- iest losses, 131 fires taking a toll of 402944 acres and $36,367.50 in esti- mated damages. Fire-fighting costs in the county totaled $8,644.14 and the fires averaged 30.76 acres in each area The records in the other counties fol- low: Bl 34 fires, 595.63 acres, $4,- 888 in damages, $1,056.13 in costs, 1805 acres per fire; learfield—24 i 249.01 acres, $614.50 in damages, 95 in costs and 10 acres, $4,883 in damages, $1,056.13 in 696.93 acres, $4338 in damages, $2,439.71 in costs and 36.10 acres per fire.
